Book Review White Swan and Bat

The investigation is very intense, but it's a little slow.

| White Swan with Bat

8 Points or ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

On November 1, 2017, "Shiraishi Kenzuke," a lawyer, was found dead in a private car in Kaikang, Minato District, Tokyo. Police officer "Kodai Tsutomu" was given a page to investigate the case.

Kodai found some clues, causing him to travel to interrogate "Kuraki Tatsuro" who organized the Aichi cold as a suspect.

Kuraki initially denied having done it, but he later confessed to killing Shiraishi, and admitted killing another body in 1984.

What would this investigation be like? The two murders in 2017 and 1984 are connected, and whether Kuraki is the real killer would have to read them.

The plot / storyline is great, fun, but not the most fun that Keika said, but what I can tell you right now is the most intense investigation I've read. The good guy is a little complicated, but it's not hard to understand. It's not easy to read.

The story is slow but not boring. The story is very addictive. The puzzle of whether Kuraki is the killer. How are the two cases connected? This makes it addictive. It's almost impossible to read and put down.

The story will be a police investigation of the killer's son, the 1st victim's child, and the second victim's child. The whole investigation of the truth makes it almost boring, but not boring because it alternates, the other finds a clue, the other finds another clue, and the last moment combines every clue into an unexpected truth.

Guessing the killer in the first case is very hard to guess, the truth is very peak, and the second case is not very difficult, I guess almost right.

Guessing is very difficult. It investigates many ways, each of us has no idea what clues or truths he will find. Many things are very peak and very dimensional. At first I thought they were not complicated. In the latter, this has to change my mind, but it is not so complicated to understand.

At the end of the episode, when everything was revealed, I must say, there was a lot of peak. The connection of this character was very good, but any of it was, for me, not very wow.

Overall, it's very good to investigate. It's very intense, but it's not the most fun. It's a little slow to run the story. I want it to be faster. But the two alternations and connections of the Keika case are very good. It really discourages the experience of writing Keika's investigative fiction. If anyone is already writing, this book should not be missed.
